Good advice with all pythons - if you can't hand tame them within 2 weeks using gloves then don't expect to ever hand tame them. If the snake is going to get over 8 feet you don't want it, period. My dad has a buddy with a deformed arm thanks to a retic, a lot of beer, and a chicken - hehe.

Thats good, the second one looks better too, nicer coloration and a little smaller, so maybe it wont grow so big. Retics are amazing snakes. Once I had one that would kill two rats at the same time. he would bite one and coil around it with its front half, If his head wasnt covered and he couls see the other one he would wiggle his tail under it and coil it up with his tail then eat both. It was an amazing snake. made 15 feet in 3 years and was very tame. This was back in the 90s when most retics were still wild caught and not so nice.
 
Also make sure you put something in its cage to climb on. Retics that cant climb get sorta fat and dumpy like a burmese python. something very verticle. If you cant do that maybe let him out a lot supervised time to climb in a closet or something. Mine were kept in a walk in closet with a truck bedliner for a floor. They loved to climb up the wall to the rod for holding clothes then up onto the shelf above that. Kinda fun to open the door and meet your snake eye to eye.
 
You could also get a dwarf island form, much more expensive but way less dangerous
 
Is it just me, or does the one in the first pic look like it's missing a chunk of it's lip right at the front?
 
Retics in the Philippines?!! :WHOA: :nilly::nilly::nilly:

So that's what the locals mean when they say they caught and ate a large snake! :ROFL::ROFL::ROFL:
